"General, Qiu heard that more than a dozen horses were broken at Wuzi Camp yesterday, and more than forty soldiers were slightly injured. The Tang Dynasty and the Turks haven't started a war yet, but our men and horses have been damaged. We are on the school field, do you think this is inappropriate?"
The next morning, before the soldiers started training, the middle and high-level generals of the Xuanjia Army gathered in the commander's tent one step ahead. At this moment, almost everyone was here, but Li Zexuan did not come. After waiting for a while, Qiu Xinggong rolled his eyes and went up. He cupped his fists forward and said to Duan Zhixuan.
The faces of the generals in the tent were stern, knowing that Qiu Xinggong was taking the opportunity to attack Li Zexuan. Although everyone knew it, no one jumped out because they had to see Duan Zhixuan's attitude first!
How could Duan Zhixuan not see things that others could see clearly? His eyebrows moved slightly, his face remained as usual, and he said: "I know something about this matter! Yesterday, Li Canjun was testing whether the soldiers of Wuziying would obey military orders unconditionally, so he did not give the order to stop the charge in time, causing the war horse to hit the wood. On the pile, this resulted in injuries to the men and horses! However, both the sergeants and the horses were wearing armor, so most of them were minor injuries, so they shouldn’t be serious, right?”
Duan Zhixuan was also present when the Wuzi Battalion conducted battle training yesterday. He quite agreed with the training model established by Li Zexuan. What is the most important thing in this army? Are you obeying military orders? If soldiers even obey military orders, what are they called soldiers? It's better to call them bandits!
At this point, Duan Zhixuan felt that Li Zexuan's philosophy coincided with his own!
"General, you can't say that! This is not how soldiers are trained to obey military orders. Throughout the ages, Qiu has never heard of any general who would order his soldiers to ride horses and hit logs!"
Seeing Duan Zhixuan's "partiality", Qiu Xinggong couldn't sit still, and he quickly retorted.
After a pause, in order to make his words more convincing, Qiu Xinggong continued:
"Furthermore, although the soldiers will be fine after being slightly injured, the war horses are different! If the war horses are injured many times, they will not be able to go to the battlefield. We Xuanjia Army are cavalry, and the war horses are our lives. ! How could Li Shenjun be so messed up?"
Qiu Xinggong stepped forward. How could his younger brother not step up? Zhang Kangnian stepped forward and quickly provided an assist:
"General, what General Qiu said makes sense! The horses in our Xuanjia Army are all top-quality horses that are only one in ten or even one in a hundred. We really can't afford to be like Li Canjun's misbehavior!"
Duan Zhixuan remained silent. What Qiu Xinggong and Zhang Kangnian said seemed reasonable, but in fact they were a bit unreasonable. Basically anyone with a discerning eye knew what they were thinking.
"Trash? Who said I joined the army and trashed the war horses?"
At this moment, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, and a person walked in from the outside. The voice arrived before the person arrived. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Zexuan?
Sun Zhiping in the tent couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Zexuan had finally arrived. If Li Zexuan, the real master, was not here, wouldn't people like Qiu Xinggong and Zhang Kangnian criticize him at will?
"I'm sorry, everyone, I went to bed a little late last night to visit the injured soldiers in the condolence camp. I guess I didn't miss the time, right?"
After giving Zhang Kangnian a faint look, Li Zexuan cupped his fists at Duan Zhixuan and others.
It is said that Li Zexuan conceived and wrote the test plan for the Y-zi camp and the E-zi camp very late last night. In addition, he had been training with the soldiers in the past few days, so he was somewhat tired. He almost didn't get up in the morning, so Came a little late.
"It's exactly 2:00 now. Li Shenjun is here either early or late!"
Duan Zhixuan waved his hand, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, sit down! Today we will discuss the matter of the competition between Yiziying and Wuziying!"
There was no Taishi chair in this military camp, not even stools. There were only mats on which everyone could only kneel and sit.
After taking their seats, Li Zexuan took the lead and said: "General, when I came in just now, I heard someone saying that I was destroying the horses in the army. Regarding this matter, I would like to explain it first."
This is a "face to face" with Qiu Xinggong and Zhang Kangnian!
"good!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded, then looked at Zhang Kangnian and said: "Zhang Kangnian proposed this matter. Li Shenjun will explain it a little bit to Captain Zhang!"
Hearing this, Zhang Kangnian couldn't help but shrink his neck, thinking that Duan Zhixuan was really picking on the weaklings. It was Qiu Xinggong who said the same thing first, but why did he only push himself out in this matter?
Even though he had given Qiu Xinggong an "assist" so neatly just now, facing Li Zexuan head-on, he still felt a little apprehensive.
Li Zexuan glanced at Zhang Kangnian with a half-smile, and said, "Colonel Zhang said that I abused the horses in the army, was he referring to the injury of twelve horses in Wuzi Camp yesterday?"
"Exactly...exactly so!"
Although he was timid, Zhang Kangnian still frowned and said: "You may not know something about joining the army. The horses in the Xuanjia Army are all high-quality horses, and each one is valuable. We lose more than a dozen horses every day. The Xuanjia Army cannot afford to be damaged!"
"Losing more than a dozen war horses every day? Colonel Zhang's sneaky change of concept is a good idea!"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan sneered, looked at Zhang Kangnian and said: "Let's not mention that the twelve war horses in Wuzi Camp yesterday were all slightly injured. They only need good care for a few days to recover as before, but who told you that Wuzi Camp From now on, more than a dozen horses will be broken every day? You should know why the horses were injured yesterday. It was because I joined the army to test the obedience of the soldiers! But such tests are just accidental, and they are not Every day, Lieutenant Zhang, why do you keep saying that the Wuzi Camp loses more than a dozen war horses every day?"
Zhang Kangnian was so shocked by Li Zexuan's words that he backed away and was speechless. At this time, Sun Zhiping cupped his fists towards Duan Zhixuan and said:
"General, I will be able to prove this! Yesterday, Li Zexuan did not order the soldiers to stop charging, just to test the soldiers' determination to execute the order. However, this kind of test is not something that every team of soldiers must go through, but a random test! After a while, when the soldiers develop the habit of resolutely obeying orders, such tests can be canceled at any time, and they will not lose more than a dozen war horses in the army every day!"
"Hmph! What a test of the soldiers' determination to execute orders! I don't know whether it's because I, Qiu, am ignorant, or because you, Li Canjun, are too well-informed. Throughout the ages, how can anyone train the army like you? This hasn't happened yet. On the battlefield, both men and horses were injured. In my opinion, your training method is really ridiculous!"
Seeing that the "little brother" could not solve the problem, the "big brother" Qiu Xinggong finally "went into battle" personally. This old guy clung to the issue of "soldiers and horses being injured during training" and planned to fight Li Zexuan to the death!
"General Qiu's words are wrong! Why do the soldiers train so hard on the school field? To win the battle, to kill the enemy and serve the country! For this reason, they sweat more during daily training, What does a slight injury mean?"
Li Zexuan's face darkened, and he objected: "The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are all the best of the best. They are tigers. If they cower and huff because they are slightly injured, then what kind of tigers are they?" To be the king of beasts or to be the docile lamb, I believe the soldiers have the answer in their hearts!
The last general will put his words here today. As long as I, Li Zexuan, am in the Xuanjia Army, the training of the Xuanjia Army will be so harsh. Anyone who cannot stand this harsh training can apply to withdraw from the Xuanjia Army! How can such a coward be worthy of being a black-armored tiger warrior? "
"Okay! Li Shenjun said it well!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shigui couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "Since the establishment of the Xuanjia Army, it has gone through hundreds of battles without a single defeat. It relies on the word "brave". It is the sacrifice of countless Xuanjia Army soldiers. Forgetting life and death and fighting bravely to kill the enemy, Xuanjia Army achieved its undefeated record!
If someone cries because he gets a minor injury during training, then I will be the first to look down on him! Even our Jia Ziying would not want such a person! Li Shenjun’s training method is great! Zhang will also give it a try today to see how the military discipline of our Jiazi camp soldiers is? "
"Zhang Shigui, you..."
Seeing Zhang Shigui jumping out to support Li Zexuan, Qiu Xinggong was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. However, Zhang Shigui's seniority in the military was not lower than his, and it was hard for him to say too harsh words, so he had to swallow his breath!
"Okay! Let's end this matter here!"
Seeing that the debate was almost over, Duan Zhixuan made the final decision: "The Xuanjia Army is a tiger and wolf army. It is understandable to suffer minor injuries in daily training, but the war horses in the army should be taken good care of. The training method yesterday was not something Li Shenjun should use often." good!"
Duan Zhixuan, as the "boss" of the Xuanjia Army, naturally cannot take sides obviously. What he said is that he is not helping both parties!
After a pause and seeing no one refuting below, Duan Zhixuan continued:
"Next, let's discuss the competition between Yiziying and Wuziying! Li Canjun, have you thought about the rules of this competition?"
Li Zexuan took out a booklet from his sleeve, stood up and said: "General, I have already thought about the rules of this competition and they are all written down in it!"
He "worked overtime" and stayed up late last night mainly for this matter!
Without Duan Zhixuan's orders, a personal guard took the pamphlet from Li Zexuan's hand and handed it to Duan Zhixuan.
After Duan Zhixuan took it, he immediately started reading it. Everyone in the tent looked at the book in Duan Zhixuan's hand with curiosity, wanting to know what was written in it.
Li Zexuan smiled, and while Duan Zhixuan was watching, he explained to everyone: "The competition between Yiziying and Wuziying is scheduled for nine days later. The entire competition will last for three days and will be held at Niushou Mountain outside Chang'an City. . All soldiers and horses of the two battalions were dispatched and camped near Niushou Mountain. The specific location of the camp was chosen by the commanders of both sides! In addition to weapons, tents, horses, and armor, both sides were not allowed to carry a grain of grain or a penny of copper! Violators were directly punished Lose!
In the past three days, all the food and drink needs of the soldiers and horses of each battalion had to be hunted in the mountains or other means! Of course, while seeking survival, both sides also need to beware of harassment or attack by the other side. The first day is the protection period for both sides to set up camp, and they are not allowed to attack each other. During the rest of the time, both sides can lead their troops to attack the other side's camp at any time, regardless of whether they have captured it. Whether the opponent's general annihilates all the opponent's soldiers, it counts as a victory!
Oh, in order to avoid casualties during the competition, the soldiers of both sides are not allowed to carry real swords this time. They are all replaced by wooden weapons with lime stained on the front. The arrows of the feather arrows must also have their arrows removed and wrapped with lime. Lime cloth, when the two sides are fighting, if the opponent's weapon stabs the heart or other vital parts that can be "killed with one blow", it will be counted as killed, and you should leave the battlefield quickly!
At that time, in order to prevent someone from cheating, someone would ride on a fairy lantern and watch the whole battle with a telescope at high altitude. If someone was found to have violated the rules of the competition, double the number of people in the battalion would be expelled from the battlefield. For example, if one person was found to be cheating, two members of the battalion would be kicked out. Famous generals are directly expelled from the battlefield. If two people are found, four will be expelled, and so on!
As long as it is within the rules, both sides can use any tactics, whether it is a sneak attack at night, a secret ambush, or a frontal attack. However, when the two armies are fighting, they can injure people but must not kill. Violators will be subject to military law. Dispose! If neither side breaks through the other side's camp in the end, the side with the most "surviving" soldiers wins! "
This is the competition rule that Li Zexuan thought of last night. He combined the two most commonly used methods of "sergeant drills" in ancient times. Of course, if you really want to compare, the competition rules that Li Zexuan set are more like a modern game - " "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the map is Niushou Mountain, but there are only two teams. At the beginning of the "game", the two teams will choose to "grow" in different locations. The beasts in the mountains are equivalent to the "supply boxes" on the map. It can ensure that the soldiers can survive. While the soldiers and horses of both sides are "growing in the wild", they must also engage in PVP battles until the opponent is eliminated!
Among them, it not only tests the army's ability to survive in the wild, but also tests the general's ability to arrange troops, march and fight. It is an extremely comprehensive test!
"General Qiu, what do you think of the rules of this competition? Does Yiziying dare to fight now?"
Li Zexuan paused for a while, giving everyone some time to digest. Then he looked at Qiu Xinggong and asked lightly.
On the surface, this competition rule is not obviously disadvantageous to Yiziying. Li Zexuan feels that Qiu Xinggong is more likely to accept it!
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong did not immediately set up camp because he was worried that Li Zexuan would dig a hole for him in the rules. He carefully went through what Li Zexuan had just said in his mind, and still did not find any obvious "holes." ", so he looked at Li Zexuan with a cold and arrogant face and said:
"Hmph! Why don't you dare to do this? I just hope that Li Shenjun will not forget our bet!"
What he was talking about was, of course, the complete abolition of the new code of conduct after Wu Ziying lost!
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "General Qiu, don't worry. A true man keeps his word, and I, Li Zexuan, will naturally keep his word!"
